Sap Ps Functionality 2f604

Project Functionality of - SAP-PS (Project System) The Project System module of SAP (PS) is specifically designed to provide comprehensive and fully integrated project management functionality for SAP customers. When it was originally designed and developed its core functionality was borrowed from and shared with the PP and CO modules. So most of the PS objects (WBS elements, networks, activities, activity elements) are cost objects similar to cost centers in CO, while networks have scheduling and resource managementcapabilities that are very similar to PP. Whenever you need flexibility and frequent interaction for resource loaded scheduling activities, you still feel the remnants of an architecture and interface that was originally designed for the more static context of PP. Shortcomings include -friendliness since SAP did not manage to satisfactorily put the end in control to easily manipulate the data. In that respect, SAP's unsured enterprise functionality often is perceived as an issue by end-s. Also, and somewhat ironically, PS and PP are not seamlessly integrated. This means that costs or dates do not roll up or cannot be pushed down between PS &PP.

What is SAP PS? Projects are generally part of the internal processes of a company. To be able to control all tasks in project execution, you need an organizational form that is specific to the project and which is shared by all departments involved. Before you can carry out a project in its entirety, the project goals must be precisely described and the project activities to be carried out must be structured. A clear, unambiguous project structure is the basis for successful project planning, monitoring, and control. The high degree of integration between the Project System (PS) and other R/3 application components means that you can plan, execute, and for projects as part of your normal commercial procedures. This means the Project System has constant access to data in all the departments involved in the project. The R/3 PS guarantees close and constant monitoring of all aspects of your project including both technical and commercial aspects of the project.

Versions in Project Systems

Explain the type of version in SAP Project Systems. Basically, there are different kinds of versions in PS. They are: 1. Project versions - these are basically snapshots of a project at different stages of a project. Based on how the system is set up, a version could be created everytime the system status of a project object is changed, for example. Or, you could manually create a project version in transaction CNS41 or the like. You could create a version with a key and then you could compare the different snapshots of a project against each other or against version 0 (operative project). 2. Simulation versions - these are essentially "play around with" versions. Meaning that you could use them to try "what if" kind of scenario by changing dates, structure, milestones, etc... and compare results with the operative version. For example, you may want to determine what the impact is going to be of a certain change to the project before making the actual change to the operative project. Then, you could create a simulation version, play around with it to make sure it does what you want it to do, then make the actual change to the operative change or you could convert the simulation version to the operative version also. I am not sure if they are hidden issues in doing this, but to make the point here, the simulation version is a "play ground" for "what if" scenarii for the project. The main difference, I believe, between the project and simulation versions is that project versions cannot be changed/modified once they are copied, while simulation versions can be. Also, you cannot copy a project version to an operative version, but you can copy a simulation version to an operative version. 3. Planning/Controlling versions - these are the versions used for storing different kinds of planning details for the project. Essentially, these versions are also "operational" and can be changed as needed. For example, you may want to keep the operative version (version 0) always for actual costs, while you will use planning version P1 to store planned values from E, then version P2 for Unit Costing values, etc... Unlike simulation versions however, you cannot copy a planned version to the operational project (I don't think). You can however, copy one plan version to the other. 4. Progress Versions - These versions are used for carrying outEarned Value Analysis and other measurements against project progress based on POC, etc. Progress version is controlling area specific and defines the control data for POC and earned values. It is mandatory to maintain

progress version along with method of calculation. The system records progress analysis data in the progress version. That is why you can get the result only if you maintain it in the progress tab of WBS. SPRO -> Project System -> Progress-> Progress Analysis ->Define Measurement Method as Default. Here you define the Version, Object Type, Plan/Actual, Default Measurement Method. After that Version would be defaulted for the object in the hierarchy.

SAP PS – Basics of Project System- http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/sapps.htm This course covers basic SAP Project System in 10 lessons, including master data, project planning, acquisitions, network activities and settlements using the new Project Builder. This is an interactive simulation course and includes simulated SAP screens. This allows you to interact with the screens just like a real SAP system, including entering data in fields and clicking on buttons or links. SAP PS Training Goals- This course will help you become familiar with SAP's PS (Project System) module using the Project Builder. You will learn how to: 

Create a Project with Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) & Network Activities



Create Project Plans with Easy Cost Planning and Project Planning Board



Create Requisitions and Purchase Orders for WBS



Run Settlements



Run Project Reports

This SAP PS training uses ECC 6.0 (newest SAP release) and includes 420+ training slides, study guide for each lesson, 60+ pages of additional SAP documentation and email .

"The training is very clear and easy to understand. The fact that it can be done anytime is a "great" feature as I could do it at homewith no interruptions. Also having the capability to back up and repeat a process is extremely helpful. With no set time limits, when I was ready to book an asset, I could review just that section and get pointers right on the spot." Pat Z., Whirlpool Corporation Training Content Lesson 1 Create Project Structure & Work Breakdown Structures Lesson 2 Create Network Activity Lesson 3 Create Project Plan (Cost Planning & Project Planning Board) Lesson 4 Create Requisitions & Purchase Orders for WBS Lesson 5 Complete Network Activity Lesson 6 Settle Network Activity to WBS Lesson 7 Settlement to Asset under Construction Lesson 8 Run Project Reports Lesson 9 Create Final Settlement Rules Lesson 10 Project Closeout and Final Settlement

Transaction Codes CJ** are mainly Project Definition and WBS related, CN** are mainly Network and activity related and the OP** are mainly PS Configuration / Customization related.

SAP Project System SPRO Tcodes List 2 How to delete PS master data and transaction data? This is a complex one. SAP usually does not allow you to delete anything. You will have to archive and then delete the objects. If there are "bad" projects without any transactional activity, you can mark the projects with status DLFL. To archive, use transaction code SARA. You will have to get your entire functional team - MM, SD, FI, CO, PS - and decide on a module-by-module and transaction-by-transaction basis on the best approach to purge this data. You will also have to think about auditing and retrieval if this is production data. Solution is Archiving. It's a seperate process better consult you basis consultants for this.

SAP Project System SPRO Tcodes List 3 How to schedule the network within the dates provided in the network header?

The problem is that every time I schedule the network, scheduling happens as per the date given in assigned WBSE & not as per the dates specified in NTW Header. Go to Project Planning Board. Click on the "Options" icon. - Select the "Scheduling" option. - On the tab "Scheduling parameters for activities", the "Scheduling method" selected should be "X Network determines dates". In your case I believe it is "WBS determines dates". You can set this in SPRO-->Project System-->Dates-->Date Planning in WBS-->Define parameters for WBS scheduling--> Select Scheduing method as "X Network determines dates"

I have a standard activity which the price is $1 / hr. I have created a project in which a activity has a planned hr of qty 1. But my planned cost comes in as '$0.83'. But when I comfirm my activity, the actual cost comes in as '$1'. Why is my planned cost differing? What is the cause of the $0.83 instead of $1. Where can i check and change this. Answer : I guess that you use different costing (and valuation) variants. so the system might valuate plan and actuals differently. Question : Where and how do i control it?

Answer : In the network header are two fields: one for the plan costing variant and one for the actual costing variant. You maintain the costing variants in the customizing: PS -> Costs -> Planned Costs -> Automatic Costing in Networks -> Costing -> Define Costing Variants. Display the costing variant and jump to the valuation variant. There you find how the determines the costs. Validations in PS Question : I am trying to use validation in the Project. Can any one tell when are the call up points 110 and 120 trigerred ? I want to validate one of the defined fields in WBS. Everything is working fine when I simulate the validation. But when I enter a value in the defined field and save the project then I do not get the error message as expected. Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong ?? Answer : Please see if you have checked the check box for Automatic validation in the relevant project profile. Question : I want to validate the customer number in one of the fields in WBS. The formula builder in the validation screen, it seems, does not table fields other than fields from PRPS. Can this be done thru some exits ?? If yes how ?? Can u guide me in this ?? Answer : To use a exit in validations, you have to perform following steps; - copy SAP standard program GGBS002 to ZGGBS002 - create a exit in this program (such as U902, U903 etc) - the exit you defined in the above mentioned program will be visible in validations on screen tab 'Exits' - configure your validation with ' exit' as option WBS description doesn´t appear completely in hierarchical

Question : In the hierarchical reports in PS de WBS description is not showed completely. Do you know a way to make this appear completely? Answer :We are on 4.6B and this is what you can do. :1) Execute report 2) Expand your results, if necessary 3) Click on any WBS line description 4) Follow the menu path Settings/Characteristic display 5) Choose lead column 6) Move object short description to the value set side of the 7) Move object long description to the lead column side of the Save (if you have authorization). Note you can use this procedure for any other object that may show up on the report display. i.e. navigation characteristics change the objects displayed. Anyway to put checks before setting to TECO? Question : Can anyone pl let me know about the followings: Is there any way to put checks (in the form of tick mark etc) before setting the system status to "TECO"- e.g. some documents are received or not etc. Answer : You can set the system status to Technically completed TECO which can be later on withdrawn. The necessary changes are reflected in the system status on saving the Network With the setup of statusses (tr. OIBS), you have the ability to disable the 'TECO' as long as a certain status 'e.g. waiting for documents' is active Links to documents stored on the Web Question : Is there a way to create a document (under a project) which refers to a URL and not to a document stored on a content server? Answer : Yes you can, but you need define in DMS customizing some points.

1.- Inner "Define Data Carriers" in Define data carrier type external "DMS" a record with this information: TYP = IE, Description = That you want, Check ONLINE and EX, the inside this in Define External DMS create a record with DATACAR = INTERNET, TYP = IE, Description = That you want, Check EX. 2.- Inner "Define Workstation Applications" define an application for web pages without file format, inside this in "Define Workstation applications in network" create records for options 1, 2, 3, the path of location of your navigator in your PC or you can put "%AUTO% iexplore.exe %f". Then when you create a document in the Original field you can put the URL and in the Data Carrier field put the name that you define in the customizing. How to settlement auc to asset in PS? Question : The cost of project have settled to auc(investment asset), but when the project is finished, in AM or in PS i can't settle auc to asset? Pls give me some suggestion! Any idea is appreciation! Answer : You must set technically complete for your WBS & NW before settle AUC to Assets. Updating the current Order cost plan Question : We are in 46C. Starting a project, we establish an Order cost plan. We plan the amount of work (in hours) and specify the work center for each of the activities. For material components, we enter the forecast material costs in the field "Material planning". We see the total and detailed by activity cost plan in CNS41 (Structure overview) in the column "Order cost plan 000". At some point in time, the project advancement shows that we have to reconsider the original cost plan, for instance because the actual costs collected so far are much higher than foreseen at start-up. Management decides to change the cost plan 000 to reflect the new forecasted budget. Management already told that they would like to be able to specify a new total value for the Order cost plan 000 of the activity rather then to play with the amount of work (hours) in the activity. They say it should be something like this (for labor): (actual cost) + (number of hours to do * cost of work center) = order cost plan 000. What options do we have to modify the "Order cost plan 000"??

Answer : There is a functionality called cost forecast (transaction CJ9L/CJ9M). I think this is exactly what you require. The forecasted costs are saved in a separate CO version. You could try to display this version in CNS41. Create network from Sales Order Question : We are currently running 4.6C and have implemented SD and PS. The situation is we want to be able to create a network automatically from the sales order during creation. I've assigned the strategy group 85 to the material master and I've defined the network parameters from sales order (via transaction CN08). The result... During creation of the sales order (transaction VA01), the network is created successfully but the components are not transferred to the network. Is it supposed to or not? If so, what additional configuration should I look at? I'm not very familiar with the standard functionality so I'm hoping someone out there has experience with this topic. Answer : The components in assembly processing remain on the sales order only. In case you are working with reasonably complex scenario on BOM and procurement, where material items have their own dependencies schedulewise e.g to design, you should put the materials on the network. The best way to accomplish this is to do the BOM allocation (transfer) to activities and have only the invoicing item at sales order. IM and FM Question : Is that possible to use IM to control investment projects and FM to control general costs? What is needed to be done in order to avoid conflicts between IM and PS ?

Answer : Investment Management() IM Module is highly integrated with controlling(CO) , project system(PS), and Asset Management(FI-AA) components. IF you would like to implement IM & PS you might ask yourself what additional advantages are offered by using IM . These Include: 1- in PS you can represent the planned and the budgeted values of all projects . using IM you can represent the budgeting process from the organization pointview. IM helps you track of budget amounts that you carry forward for projects that were approved in prior fisical year. 2- Using AR in IM CAN help you decide what budget will be assigned to your organization Unit. IM Handles Cost Planning & Budget Approval and PS Manages Project Execution with AVAC for the Budget for each project. Multiple Root WBS Question : Can any one tell me in detail of advantages and Dis-advantages of Multiples Root WBS in the project.And one more why do you using the same coding Mask for PD and Root WBS. Answer : Multiple Root WBSEs helps in budgeting scenarios where these WBSEs are funded from different sources say a customer project has part scope of R&D (funded by R&D). You may also want to fund these root WBSEs from IM programs (linking to position IDs.) Question : Subject : PS Assets under Construction I know that I can maintain the Plant for the WBS Element, what I would like to know is if it is also possible to maintain the Location as well? I've heard that it is not possible but I would like to hear other opinions. Any suggestions? We are on version 4.0B.

I would like to know since the Asset Management people here are asking if it's possible to maintain it in PS or if this can only be done in AM. MM is not included in this implementation, but we did set up the Plants and Locations. Reply : Subject : PS Assets under Construction you can maintain a location for a WBS element as well. Select WBS element, follow path Details > Orgainsation. This screen has a field called Functional Location, apart from other orgainsation details such as Controlling Area, Company Code, Business Area, Plant, Calender etc Question : Subject : PS Network Status's & Confirmations Is there a status that can be set for a network activity that will stop time confirmations from being processed? TECO stops changes to the basic data, but allows further time confirmations.

Reply : Subject : PS Network Status's & Confirmations you can lock assignment for the network/activity in consideration depending on whether the network is header/activity assigned. This disallows the confirmation of the activities.

Any Variant Capabilities in CM07 Report I am executing the CM07 report whuich is the Variable Capacity Planning Report. Out of which, I like the results because I obtain the fields I need by going thru the individual ''choose fields'' button.

However in 4,6c) it does seem to have any variant capabilities ??? I have to reenter the fields selection every item I back out of the report ... Which is a bit anoying !!! Anyone has any recipes for this so that columns/criterias selected can be save guarded for the next time ??? There are Variant list capabilities for CM07 Capacity report. Mainly via PS-> Information Systems->Resources->Tools->Resources->Selection->General Profile (OPA6) and also via PS-> Information Systems->Resources->Tools->Resources>Selection-> Variant List Poifile Details (OPDT). You create a new ''Z'' Variant Profile list with all the fields that you want to select and show in yopur CM0? report . Be carefull to click correctly on the greenish/yellowish arrow to bring up the field selections pop up window... Than associate this new Z Variant Profile to a newly defined ''Z'' General Profile... Then after you can override with othe Variant Lists in the profile selection of the CM07 report txn. itself if needed

Change Documents in SAP Project In the Customising for Create Project Profile (OPSA) there are 2 fields for "Change Documents". Where and how is this useful during implemenation? There are 2 outcomes for change documents and they should both be implemented if it's important that you keep track of changes made to a project: General changes (the one at the top)

- any field content changes made to a project WBS after it was first saved will be recorded in a file. eg. if you changes the WBS description, the old value and the new value will be recorded, or if you changed a person responsible, it would also be recorded etc. This information can be reviewed in Info Systems report CN60 to old/new values and who/when. Status Managment (the one checked in Status Management) - any changes to System and Status will be recorded, including the status history and who/when. Changes can be seen in any project maintenance transaction (eg. CJ02, CJ20N) by clicking on the "i" icon for a PD or WBS, then following the internal pull-down menu path: Extras>Change Documents> For Status/All.You can then drill-down on the satus to see its history.

SAP PS Interview Questions Q1. For raising Client billing, is there any possibility of linking line items in SD module with Activities / WBS in PS module? A1. It can be linked through DIP Profile and do Resource Related Billing for raising billing. Q2. Can Revenues be linked with Activities? A2. No, it can be done at WBS level with 'Billing' operative indicator. Q3. Can progress be updated in WBS elements? A3. Yes, You can use Progress Analysis (EVA) for this. Q4. We would like to compare the planned cost, actual cost & revenue for line items in SD module. For this as what object should we consider the line item in PS module. A4. You can use Billing level WBS in PS module. Q5. In easy cost planning/ cost models, the resource requirement details (quantity and rate) are given to get the cost of each line item. But to get planned cost of each activity, the consultant is asking us to assign resources separately again in activities. If we consider the

line items as activities, should we assign the resources again or the same in easy cost planning / cost models can be linked to get the resources assignment in a simpler method. A5. Instead of this, you can use costing variant for Easy Cost Planning (not for the activities) Is there any way by which we can lock two specific wbs elements say overheads and other expenses, so that the cannot release PR? The easiest way would be to define the project release process in the bottom-up fashion. That means, you will only release the activities/WBS elements that you need from time to time during the course of the project. That way, charges won't be accrued on a WBS element until it's released (so, don't release it until it's ready for collecting costs). Is there any way by which we can stop the network from attaching further materials after it is released? This is controlled through the change profile, which is assigned to the network profile. In the change profile, under the Component tab, you can define the release status of the activity at which you can create/change/delete material components. How can we set the options for capacity reports CM01? This will possible depend on your config, but the options I use are: Settings>General> Tick, Cumulation of reqmts, Dyn. capacity cumul. and then select the hierarchy you have set up. I then select the financial year (as we are budget driven) using Entry type A and the start/finish of the financial year. I select period Month. Then click tick. I then select the work centre I require. or arm of the hierarchy. You can then select standard overview and also select graphs or if you need a detailed list press that button. *-- Jim Carter

Short Interview Q& As on SAP PS

Project Calculations When we confirm activities and see it in cns41 report we can see that the POC is aggregated at the Network,WBS and project level.

How does the system calculate this.. i.e on what factors and criteria? PS, like, other Projects Programs used the Pondered advance has a project and structural (WBS) phisical advance. IF you have a Project with only 1 activitie. The 100% phisical advance of the activitie is ed to the Project. If you have a Prj. with 2 activities and both had 100% phisical advance. The project has 200%? NO!, PS calculated this Percent complete Activity A = 100 = A-POC Percent complete Activity B =100

B-POC

Weigth or contribution of A = 30%

A-Wgt

Weigth or Contribution of B =70%

B-Wgt

(The sum of the weigth need to be 100%) The Project Advance will be A-POC*A-wgt + B-POC*B-Wgt This implies = 100*30% + 100*70% = 30 + 70 =100 The weigth is a function of Men-Hours, Cost or Special-Weigth. Status Report In the business scenario used here a status profile containing different statuses with authorisation controls has been set up in the Project Definition for controlling the process of Project creation & approval. The process flow is as follows - The project is created by the design team, after which it is sent to pre-audit team for approval, the pre-audit team approves it, on approval the project is released and the rest of the process flows on. Each

of the above phases is marked by an status and on completion of a phase the sets the next status for the object. Requirement : An ABAP report is required to be developed which shows the date and time at which each of the staus was set and released. Go to transaction SE38, and enter RBSVCDOC in the field "Program". Select the Execute button. Insert your WBS's object number, and select the tick box "SHOW_ALL" Execute the program. If the results is what you are looking for, then follow these steps to have your required report on Status Change Log: 1. Ask your ABAP program to copy function RBSVCDOC to a Z-Program, and 2. assign a Ztransaction code this copied Z-program. 3. You can also ask the programmer if he is able to design a defined input screen to this program. Creating an Internal Activity at the Network Level Trying to create an internal activity at the network level and whenever I go to the menu to add an internal activity, the level moves up to the project level instead of remaining at the nework level. This of course prevents me from creating the internal activity. Why this is happening? Work out the following path : 1) Go to "Structure Tree" (Top-left pane of Project Builder), click on Network Header. 2) In "Work Area" (Right pane) click on "Activities Overview" icon. Go to "Int. Processing Tab" and define activity with relevant field details and Confirm. This will create Int activity in the selected Network only. *-- Nabada More Time calculation in work Center My requirement is to calculate the time taken for a component which contains 4 Operations. Using Work Centers in PS Module.

Details of the Operations: 1. Chain cutting 2. Soldering 3. Lock fitting 4. Assembly Time taken for soldering operation = 15 sec/soldering operation One component contains = 20 soldering operation Total time taken to finish one component = 300 sec In one day we can make = 8 hr(28800sec)/300sec=96 nos. How we can calculate this in the system Using Work Center. You need to do folowing.... 1) Define 4 activity type with these names and give the unit of operation as second - and assign it to a cost center in kp26 with cost 2) Define a work center in CNR1...using usage project management 0006 3) Assign formulae SAP004 in the other formulae in scheduling tab and SAP008 in capacity Tab. 4) Assign working hours for your WC in capacity tab header data as 8 hours and put number of available capacity (no.of people in Work center) 5) Assign all the activity types in the Work center costing tab 6) Give duration for all these activity in your project 7) Schedule the project and do costing....

FAQ on SAP PS Workforce Planning and Project Status When a project status is set back to REL from TECO or CLSD status, the work force planning done is getting deleted completly at the activity. Run cmp9(Evaluation again) and you will have workforce planning back.

WorkForce Planning We are using CMP2 for doing workforce planning in our Org, we attach reources to activities, now the issue is we want to put an end date to the resource attached so that the particluar resource does not appear in cmp2 . P.S - we have tried by attaching resource to WBS too, it doesn't work. In CMP2 - mark the relevant line - press the bottom with the pencil - make a new end date and save. Next time you enter CMP2 the start date has to be after the end date you entered. Be aware that the end date affect the work list for the person in CATS.

Table for System status (wbs) I am trying to create one query to find out wbs status assigned Open PO. I have located the relevant file for PO but not able to get table which stores system status. The table names are JEST, TJ02T

the OBJNR to the table JEST you will get System Status Number. Once you get System Status Number it to table TJO2T you will get System Status text.

WBS and company codes

Is it possible to have two different company code within the same WBS structure? For a single WBS element - NO Within the structure - YES provided company codes belong to same controlling area

ISBD system status Does anyone know if system status ISBD should be set if a budget tolerance with action "warning" is exceeded, however the total budget is not exceeded. We have the following set up: 80% Warning 90% Warning with mail 100% Error message At 80% the system status ISBD (Insufficient budgeting) is set; is this correct. You are right. The status ISBD (Insufficient budgeting) is set once the tolerence limit 1 is exceeded.

Project version: Can I go back to a previous version? Can I go back to a previous version of a project? For instance, a new project version is created automatically on release of the project. Is it possible to go back to the previous version in order to "undo" the release? Project versions are used as snapshots of projects at different status or manually triggered points. You would not be able to go back to versions because the version is not the operative project. You will not be able to undo a REL status.

Close the Project How can I close the project, after closing any PRs and PO no Processing? Open the project in CJ20N. Go to menu bar path: Edit-> status-> Close. Save project. Please note that you must first have gone through the normal progression of status moves from CRTD to REL to TECO before you will be able to close.

Project Functionality of SAP-PM (Plant Maintenance) The SAP Plant Maintenance module (PM) is designed to handle the management and execution of integrated maintenance processes. Such processes include preventative, routine and turnaround maintenance, all fully integrated with purchasing, MRP, controlling and financial ing performed in SAP. The main objects used in PM are work orders, a series of which (often grouped by revisions) are what typically is thought of as a "project". Such maintenance projects are planned by describing the estimated work effort per "operation" (activity) and work center performing that work effort. By linking operations inside work orders or across them a generic project schedule is created.

Unfortunately SAP-PM has only limited scheduling capabilities. Therefore effective enterprise project scheduling for maintenance purposes requires either the use of the SAP PS module, the integration with external scheduling tools like Primavera or MS Project, or for less complex projects the use of external tools like GWOS (for more information about these tools please search this web site). The basic master records used by Plant Maintenance are: - Maintenance Notifications; - Maintenance Orders; - Functional Locations; - Equipments; - Materials; and - Work Centers (Resources). Functional Locations and Equipments contain fields that allow grouping by units, locations, or plant locations.

Project Functionality of SAP-CO (Controlling) There are several important touchpoints between SAP projects and the SAP Controlling module (CO). All SAP cost planning and budgeting (in SAP terminology: budget = approved cost plan) functions are handled using standard CO functionality. Objects relevant to project management in SAP are cost objects. This means that planned, committed and actual costs can be charged to them like to a cost center or an internal order in CO. Among these cost objects are WBS elements, networks, activities, activity elements, maintenance orders, operations and suboperations. Costs may be planned on many levels and in many ways, starting as investment management (IM) level or WBS structure level cost planning, through primary cost element planning, and going on to purchase requisitions, planned allocations, planned hourly use of resources with associated standard cost rates, and many more. Actual costs may be charged to SAP project objects in many ways, typically through goods or service receipts, s payable invoices, general ledger (GL) postings, cost allocations or settlements. The SAP system will automatically perform the relevant controlling postings in the background so that CO plan-actual or plan-commitment-actual reports can be run in PS or PM. Standard costing using standard cost rates associated with work centers (resources) are defined in SAP CO, either internally calculated or manually assigned. This then means that cost center-based controlling transactions have a direct impact on project costing. The moment you say "costs" in SAP, you say "CO" automatically, even when dealing with projects in PS or PM.

Project Functionality of SAP-PP (Production Planning) Production planning and project management in SAP have many touchpoints. They intersect particularly in a make-to-order environment involving sales-driven projects. In principle there are a lot of similarities between the production planning module (PP) of SAP and the Project System (PS) or even Plant Maintenance (PM). Production orders are very similar to networks or maintenance orders/work orders. The main difference is that PP deals with ongoing operational aspects while PS and PM deal with projects. Projects are defined as a series of activities with a start and finish date in order to complete clearly specified deliverables at a high quality standard. From that perspective the main conceptual difference to PP is the limitation in time. PP, PS and PM all define a series of tasks, link them through relationships with each other, assign work centers to them to define where and by whom the tasks are supposed to be completed, and then schedule and cost these tasks out. Even the tools used in SAP are very similar or often the same (like work centers, definition of relationships, resource leveling). This should not be surprising as particularly the PS module, and also to some degree PM, has been built by combining PP and controlling (CO) functionality. It does indeed seem that one reason why project management in SAP often is perceived as not -friendly is due to that fact. Many of the "logistics" functions of the dynamically changing PS and PM modules are rooted in the much more static PP module. The result is great functional power but often clumsy

screens and transactions. The assignment of internally produced materials (components) to projects in PS or PM reflects another area where these modules intersect. In that case PP provides input to PS or PM, and the timing of this input is synchronized through scheduling and MRP (materials requirements planning) transactions. There are a number of limitations in the way PP on the one side and PS and PM on the other side interact. At least in the standard SAP R/3 system costs and dates are not naturally rolling up or synchronizing between these modules.

Project Functionality of SAP-SD (Sales & Distribution) What does Sales and Distribution (SD) functionality have to do with the management of enterprise projects? It does for more companies than may seem obvious at a first glance. For contractors using their own SAP system to manage and deliver capital investment projects the SD module is where the billable deliverables of their projects are defined. The same is true for everybody who uses the SAP project system (PS) to manage the make-to-order production of complex products, whether they are powerplants, aircraft parts, or the concrete bridges. SAP has functionality that allows to tie reference (template) project structures to product codes so that at the time of sales order creation the setup of a project structure can automatically be triggered. This does then link SD and PS seamlessly, at least on a high level. As the project progresses, milestone billing set up in SAP-PS can then trigger payments in SD, which again results in revenue postings in the SAP financial ing module (FI). There are a number of other reasons where SD can interact with projects managedf in SAP. Mostly, however, it does so only when you take a comprehensive look at the overall process, trying to ensure full integration. Not doing so may lead to inconsistencies between what sales people or customer relationship personnel sees in SD and the actual status of the delivery of products. One may just consider a situation where SD data from a suppliers' system needs to be tied into a project master schedule managed by a general contractor. To overcome the latter it is helpful to mirror and match purchase orders and sales orders between supplier and customer, also in line with the way the general project is managed.

Project Functionality of SAP-IM (Investment Management) The potential significance of SAP's Investment Management module (IM) is too often overlooked when considering the management of complex enterprise projects. Nevertheless it should in most cases be considered when deg scalable project management solution that center around SAP. SAP IM is a tool designed to enable program management in SAP. Program management as defined by SAP in that context means the process of defining a hierarchy on top of many projects with the purpose of planning and controlling costs, including project appropriation management and budget authorizations. Its strongest integration points, besides PS, are with the SAP Controlling (CO) and Asset Management (AM) modules. While IM was originally developed for the budgeting and high-level management of capital investment initiatives, its functionality has been extended to allow its use for similar functions. It simply is a tool that can perform such functions on top of any kind of PS projects.

Preferred Project Management Tool is... SAP Project System (PS) Primavera Enterprise/P3e Microsoft Project SAP with Primavera

Difference between SAP PS and PM?

The SAP world makes an important distinction between "PS" and "PM". The acronym "PM" is a source of frequent confusion. For many project management professionals it simply stands for "Project Management", while in the SAP community it is the abbreviation for the "PlantMaintenance" module of SAP. The SAP PM module was not designed as a project management module. It still contains a lot of components very similar to the SAP PS module, which is the project management module called "ProjectSystem". SAP define their modules by function more so than by the process they cover.

The Process Building Blocks for Projects with SAP Forget about technology and do not pay attention to modules: The key process blocks of Enterprise Projects deal with functional aspects! To set up an effective project management system, these functional aspects need to be clearly defined. If multiple tools are used, responsibilities per functional aspect and project management layer need to be assigned to one tool only, for each layer of the enterprise project (enterprise, project, and contractor). Key process blocks or functions are: 1. Structures (WBS in

SAP-PS)

2. Schedule (Network)

3. Cost Plan (Budgeting)

4. Resources (Work Centers)

5. Actuals / T&E

6. Progress / Completion

ing :

Budget Exceeded Even When There is Amount Available WBS element budget exceeded even when there is amount available. Is there any percentage between the amount available and amount to be paid that the system determines before paying an invoice. Where is this configuration made? Check your budget profile in the IMG (trx. OPS9). Select the F1 help function on the following fields: 1. "Total values" in the Timeframe block 2. "Annual values" in the Timeframe block 3. All five fields in the "Availability Control" block then if any conflict exist in the logic of your settings. Secondly, go to your configuration settings in the IMG regarding the Tolerance limits for Availability control. Check your SPRO setting under Project System>Costs>Budget>Define Tolerance Limits. As per the setting in spro for budget tolerance limit, system gives you the message. Here you set at what %age of releases budget, system will give you message and the type of message also like warning or error along with the area where you want to put this budget check. The column "Activity" stipulates the action to be taken by the system when you reach the percentage of expenditure as stipulated in the column "Usage". Example: Activity = 1 (Warning) Usage = 95 (percentage)

In this example, the system will issue a warning when your total expenditure (actual costs) reach 95% of the budget amount. This is checked by the system, based on the settings in the budget profile as stated above.

CLOSING A PROJECT Subject: CLOSING A PROJECT I tried to close a project # 2600000089. I am getting an error message " There is still WIP for WBS 2600000089 ". The long text suggests that " Calculate the WIP for WBS 2600000089 so that it can be cleared. Then settle WBS 2600000089, including the cleared WIP in the settlement ". I am not clear with this information. What should I do for this ?? We went from 3.1H to 3.1I about 20 days back. In 3.1H I have never come across like this.. -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: CLOSING A PROJECT Typically this occurs for one of two reasons: - You have costs on the WBS that need to be settled to a cost center or other WBS - You have RA that still needs to be run and settled This can get comlicated if you are not doing full settlement as you will have to open up the past periods to fix it. -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: CLOSING A PROJECT You cannot close the project if you have a WIP value in it. It's because:

1. No invoice has been generated for that project. (fully invoiced status hasn't been reached). If you generate the invoice, the WIP value will be transferred to cost of sales. 2. Invoice has been generated but the WIP value is not yet settled fully due to some provision as provided by the difference between your plan values and actual values. Have both values equal and run the RA and settlement again. Once WIP is zero, then change the status to CLOSED.

Investment Management Subject: Investment Management - Urgent! Urgent ! We wish to incorporate monthly spending plans in IM(Investment Management). Has anybody had any success in implementing this in conjunction with having Annual and Overall Budget Management. -----Reply Message----Subject: Re: Investment Management - Urgent! Urgent ! Have not tried using monthly plans in IM, but have used multiple plan versions in PS (all IM measures in my co. are linked to projects). PS reporting allows selection of the plan version for comparison to budget. Most effective use is for cumulative monthly cost plans. Also suggest that you would want to use a unique identifier for monthly plans vs. overall project plans in your naming/numbering conventions.

Settlement Rule For a WBS Element What is meant by WBS element and in what scenario, PM orders settlement rule created with category as WBS? Budget: Amount of resources allocated under a particular head in a financial year. Budget Control: Having/ creating a control on the resources allocated in a financial year. Original Budget: The initial budget that you have allocated to a WBS element.

Supplement of Budget: One time/ discrete increment in the original budget. Return of Budget: Taking out the unutilized portion of the budget. Transfer of Budget: Transferring the budget among two or more expense heads. Project Definition: A framework for a business undertaking with a fixed goal to achieve with given resources. The project definition contains dates and organizational information that are binding for the entire project. WBS Element: Individual structural element in a work breakdown structure (WBS) representing the hierarchical organization of an R/3 project. Describes either a concrete task or a partial one that can be further subdivided. Proposed Business Process : Assume there are seven expense heads in maintenance department. There may be addition of expense head in near future. Based on the maintenance heads, maintenance department will create a project in project system. This project will be used for statistical purpose only & will not have any financial implication. Upon creation of a project, WBS elements will be created as per the expense heads. So for each expense head, there will be one top level WBS element. Again these WBS elements will be divided in twelve WBS elements. These twelve WBS elements represent twelve calendar months. Budget will be allocated to each WBS element & the WBS element will be released from the project. Maintenance department will create maintenance orders as per their work requirements. These orders will be settled to cost centre, which is maintained in the settlement rule. Also WBS element will have to be mentioned in each order so that the budget control can take place. So as to capture cost from each maintenance order, the WBS element field will be made ?mandatory field? in maintenance order. So when a maintenance order is released, system will do a budget check against the WBS element mentioned. If the budget check status is OK, order is released or else it will stopped from release. If the order is stopped from release, maintenance department will have to supplement the budget. Upon supplementing, the order is released again & the maintenance cost such as, labour, material costs can be booked on the order. Again the order cost is settled to cost centre & at the same time, budget is consumed from the respective WBS element.

Every year, maintenance department will copy the previous years project so as to save time & efforts to create project & WBS elements. And the maintenance department will assign the budget allocated to each WBS element in a financial year. It is also possible to return the unutilised budget or, transfer of budget from one WBS element to another. - Create a project CJ20N - Create WBS element CJ20N - Assign Budget to WBS elementsKO22 - Display assigned Budget KO23 - Supplement Budget KO24 - Display Supplement budget KO25 - Return Budget KO26 - Display Return budget KO27 - Transfer of budget CJ34 Settlement From WBS to AUC that was created from other WBS How can make a settlement from a WBS to an AUC that was created from other WBS ?. The system send me a message AA 311 You cannot posted to the AUC ( Investment Measure ). The Help told me that I need flag a WBS like a Capital Investment Measure, I search in all fields of the structure but I dont found nothing. Go to the WBS element Control data tab and enter the investment profile field. Then it will allow you to create an AUC. What is the correct procedure for settling the WBS element costs to an AuC & then to as asset? For settlement to AUC settlement rule is not required. Follow the steps: 1) For WBS element where the asset has to be created, AUC willbe created automatically when the WBS element is in release status to get this investment profile should be assigned to WBS element in Control Tab 2) You can see in the syatem status show as AUC to see the AUC number follow the path EDIT---> WBS element ----> Investment program----> Asset under Construction where you can see the AUc which is created automatically 3) Once the above two steps are throughfor settlement to AUC goto transaction CJ88 give the

WBS element number select the processing type as partial captalization and execute all the costs pertaining to that WBS elements will be automatically settled to the AUC which is created for that WBS element

Project Objects Subject: Project Objects We have found that there are more than one WBS for an object. This is supposed to be a unique relationship i.e. one to one. On doing an object find for a Project Characteristic you obtain the object numbers (that is WBS elements internal numbers) of the objects that contain the characteristics. Using T.code SE16 you can find the WBS element number of the object. On doing this search we have found multiple WBS elements for the same object number. On investigating the situation, we found that in most instances the "other" object another WBS element in the same structure or one created shortly after the correct WBS element. We have not yet found out why this happens, what the solution is or if we have found all occurrences. -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Project Objects In PRPS, there is 4 fields that refer to an SAP object: POSID is the WBS element identifyer the see on the screen PSPNR is the internal SAP project item number (which IS unique) OBJNR is the SAP object number (made out prefix 'PR' and the internal project item number. It is also the number that is stored in the Costs tables. PSPHI is the internal current number of the project the WBS element belongs to.

All these numbers are absolutely unique. But all WBS elements in the same project will share the same PSPHI, which indicates the project (from the PROJ database). The reason why you have an internal SAP number (PSPNR) and an external number (POSID) is to allow the to change the WBS element identifyer without losing all the history. Check to make sure you were looking at the right object number.

Various Cost Planning Methods in PS I have come across various cost Planning methods like: (1) Easy Cost Planning (2) Unit Costing (3) Detailed Cost Planning (4) Network Costing When do we go for each of these methods, practically. In general implementation, which Cost Planning would be used? Here is a very brief overview for you: Easy Cost Planning(E) is really Unit Costing with a pretty face (MysapCom). It is used in Transaction CJ20N (Project Builder) only. You can set up 'Cost Models' in E using Characteristics which can be used to calculate values and automatically create Cost Plan Line Items - this is useful for companies who have pre-set planning methods (eg. Planning costs for building a bicycle, or a chemical test that requires known materials, labour, services and general costs.). It is a very flexible tool.

An extention to E is Execution Services, which allows you to automatically generate Material Reservations, Purchase Requisitions and Activity Allocations. Its disadvantages (versus Networks) is that the planned costs are all aggregated to one WBS (unless you split your WBS's up to reflect the work you are doing - Labour, Materials, Equipment etc). Therefore, actual costs hit the WBS itself, not the line-item to which you planned. Disadvantages of E is that it does not distribute planned costs across time (no distribution rule). Also, there is no scheduling (start-finish, dependencies). Configuration for E is relatively straight forward. Costs for E can be planned against any Plan Version (default is Plan Version 0). Networks allow you to plan costs via objects called Network Activities. They can be maintained not only in CJ20N, but also in CJ2D. They are a little more complex to use, but they allow you to have a networked structure. Each Network Activity can have planned costs for Work Centre/Activity Type, Stock/Non-stock Materials, Services and General Costs by Cost Element. Activities can have a list of Material Components. Networks will generate Material Reservations and/or Purchase Requisitions automatically. Configuration can be very complex. All costs for Networks are sent to Plan Version 0. Distribution of costs across time is ed. Detailed Cost Planning is used when you simply want to plan your costs via Cost Elements. You can plan these costs against any Plan Version. For a quick, easy planning method, E cannot be beaten as long as you don't want complex scheduling. It is impossible to list all the feature/advantages/disadvantages to the planning methods in this.

Asset Value Date in Settlement We are doing line item settlement in our system. As the settlement is done at the WBS level, all the assets capitalized would have the same asset value date. Is it possible to have different asset value date for different line items? Yes, provided you do the settlement run on different dates. Also check the FI settings for settlement strategy.

SAP Standard defaults the following scenario: An asset can only be capitalized when the asset is in use/productive. This means the deliverable/asset must be completed. This is the same as the status TECO (technically complete). When you capitalize (settle to asset), then the system takes the date when the WBS status changed to TECO, and defaults this date as the asset value. All the line items in the WBS will therefore assume the TECO date of the WBS and that is why all the line items in the WBS have the same asset value date. All the individual line items contributes together to one unique asset, and all have the same value date of the unique asset, which was derived, from the TECO date of the WBS. This can be adjusted and changed in the FI-AA module, but make sure you understand the implications. The asset value date is used to derive the start date for depreciation, and depreciation is normally governed externally by a governmental institution, and your company must adhere to this external requirements. Consult with your company's auditor/financial executive to get the applicable rules and make sure your settings faals within this requirements. Logistics :

PS Substitutions We have configured Partner funcitons to used at PD and WBS element level. We want to enter the 'customer number' as partner at the PD level and then want to copy it automatically in all the WBS elements under the project. Is it possible to do such a thing? We are unable to use substitutions coz Partner fields do not occur in the substitution fields.

This is reasonably easy to achieve with substitution exit, where you can retrieve data from any logically linked objects and use these as substitution source data. This is described in note 440186, chapter 4.

However, with this technique you can only maintain the fields of PRPS, e.g. fields USR*. If your intention is to substitute corresponding Partner role in each level of WBS, I think that will not be possible with this technique directly. You should additionally check if there is a exit at partner maintenance to complete the scenario.

Normally you can use exit RGGBS00 to insert a specific into subsititution. But in your case, it's a little complex, because the partner is in another table (not in PRPS). however you can try to insert your own field into table GB01 and regenerate with program RGUGBR00 (note 42615).

Progress Analysis to measure EVA Q- I am currently working on a Chemical industry Re-implementation. My client wants to implement Progress Analysis to measure EVA. They current use WBS elements (No Networks). I have been trying to find an instance where progress analysis (EVA) has been implemented for WBS so I can decide what needs to be in place. Anyone who has some imformation on these should please give me an insight or documentation. This would be greatly appreciated. Tony A-Unfortunately, from my experience, I can say that Progress analysis/ EVA Earned Value Analysis in PS cannot be done without the activities and of course withouth the networks. We had the same problem, as in our company as we had before only WBS and we needed EVA. For EVA PS has the Transaction CNE5 and in this kind of reports (see also CN41) values of rhe the field "actual work" will be "built up" on basis of activities confirmations. As I can suggest you, if the company does not want to change the current structure of the projects, a soulution would be to i! ntegrate PS with BW, if they have BW there, and to generate the needed reports for analysing the EVA in BW.

Otherwise I have not heard to be possible to have Progress Analisys without activities in SAP Standard. Elena Manole Thanks for the reply. It is very helpful. It confirms what I thought. Tony Progress analysis at WBS level is also possible., Use estimation method and put the ACTUAL WORK DONE. Mukesh I agree with Mr Mukesh. We are using the EVA method estimation and actual work done for WBS. Please create a new "Z" method of EVA which will allow confirmation of WBS in a similar way as being allowed for activities. You can then confirm the WBS for actual progress of work and enter the % completion of actual work to get schedule vs actual curve. Salim Mohsin Shakir Using the Estimation method with WBS means you are not really doing EVM in SAP. You would need to calculate the percentage using another tool. Also, since your WBS schedule dates are not dynamic, the forecasts would be very difficult to create. If the company is reimiplementing, have them implement Networks Activities, at a minimum of one Activity per WBS.

Sequence Of Operations To Get EVA In my project system I want project progress analysis on the basis of only time proportionality. Cost will not be consider for progress andtheir are different units used like m, m3, km & hr for work in internal & external activities, so is it possible to do such setting on the basis of confirmation in customisation?

Yes it is possible do through activity confirmation. It all depends on EV basis, their you need to set time proportionality. You need to perform sequence of operations to get EVA. for time prop. you need to maintain scheduling, activity confirmation etc. Define default meas method as Time prop for objects in customising. You need to do customization settings for EVA for progress version, statistical key figures, value catagories, progress cost element etc. You can go the following customizing steps... this will help you to configure as per your needs. This is not as per your need, as only you can understand what all the customizations you need to do........ 1. Create Progress Version 101 with exclusive use 'Progress Analysis'. I have selected Plan & Actual check boxes. 2. Settings for Progress Versiona) Plan version - '0' b) EV basis - Cost plan (active project, annual values) c) POC weighting - Cost plan (active project, annual values) d) Planning type - Basic dates e) Early / Late - earliest possible f) Both reference boxes selected 3. SKFs- I created three SKFs 10 (Non-Aggregated POC), 20 (Aggregated POC) and 30 (POC for RA) with unit of measure '%' and selected the Key value category 'Total values'. 4. I need to assign these SKFs to different value categories. I created three value category 10, 20 & 30 with selection 'SKF with total values' and unit of measure '%'. Then I assigned SKF 10 to VC 10, SKF 20 to VC 20, SKF 30 to VC 30 5. I assigned measurement method as default value: a) WBS (Plan) - Cost Proportional

b) WBS (Actual) - Cost Proportional c) Internal Activity (Plan) - Cost Proportional d) Internal Activity (Actual) - Degree of Processing c) Exernal activity(Plan) - Cost Proportional d) Exernal Activity (Actual) - Degree of Processing 6. I made progress cost element '6511100' (Secondary cost element) with Cost element category as 61. 7. I maintain a value catagory 6511100 with Cost radio button selected. And assigned the progress cost element to the value catagory. i.e Cost element 6511100 to value catagory 6511100. 8. I maintain the assignment of cost element group. ie. I assigned progress cost elemnt to cost element group with default radio button selected. In the cost element group, I have selected certain cost elements which we regularly used (cost elements for project materials, project manhours, project contracts, spares etc) Run CJEN first then CNE1 and CNE5

Milestones Subject: Milestones We don't use networks and activities. The same time we want to use milestones only with WBS-elements for basic POC evaluation. For instance for WBS we can attach several milestones with different POC, like 10%, 50%, 80%. What is the tool in the system to confirm that particular milestone is reached? How can I change milestone status? -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Milestones

each milestone attached to a WBS element will have an actual date field open for entery when u release the WBS element. this will determine if the milestone has been achieved or not. the %age entered in the milestone for POC will be considered in the progress analysis.

Project profile -----Original Message----Subject: Project profile We have decided not to allow creation of projects with certain project profiles.how can we prevent using the project profiles. If we delete the project profiles will it affect the existing projects or completed projects made of those profiles. -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Project profile Hi there, Have you ever used validations rules. That may work well in such a situation. You could use a rule like this : "If profile ID is ABC then error message 333". If you heve not used these rules before tell us about that and we may help you. -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Project profile

You can delete the profiles but you may encounter problems creating new WBS elements in the old projects. The profile is only used to provide defualts to these elements, so you will have to enter the values manually (e.g. Project Type). The other probelm area that comes to mind are any reports that use the profile as part of dynamic selections.

Capacity Planning in PS module; Calendar like in MS Projects With Pool Capacity we can generally define capacity for a group of expertise in a given Work Center. Meaning that if I have 10 peoples working at 40 hours a week each, my total capacity on a weekly basis is 400 hours.

If the demands from activities in my various projects using that Work Center exceeds the 400 hours then I'll be under capacity and Gantt's in Planning Board will show in red !!!!!

However if I decide to go for Individual Capacity planning using HR module; then from what I read the individuals already defined in HR as employee number; will be tied to the Work Center and automatically taken and represented in Gantt's chart individually.

The link is to tie them as employee number to the Work Center in HR. My question is; likewise in MS Projects; where we can define availability via the calendar; we can grey out days when an individual is on vacation or not available.

And that will reflect in the overall availability...

In PS is there a way to get an ''equivalent'' calendar !!!!

I did not see anything in PS itself to lock individual's dates !!!!!

Would this be in HR ???

Mainly when I want to reserve vacation time ahead for indivial labour resources..!!!! I am not an expert in this area but I know a bit about it (I made it in a customer, but at the end I had to undo it). Actually I cannot work with networks so all I have it is my memory. The pool capacity works as you say, but it seems that you are using the capacity availabality feature. I understood that if you use that, the system only checks if there is capacity avalibale, but not makes a capacity "commitment", it means, other networks can plan that capacity as own (this is made in the "levelling" section). At last, I only used the first feature so only had a look on the second. I do not know how to plan people from HR module but: - In CMP9 you can assign people to networks in basis to its Work Center in individual days (but it is very boring for the ). - In the activity tag "Personal Assignment" you can assign people to an activity. This uses the HR information (working start time, absences, substitutions...). But this is not a capacity check or plan (at the end, I used that information to make a customer-specific report).

- The function "HR_PERSON_READ_WORK_SCHEDULE" can be used to know the exact avilabilty of a person (it will show you working hours, if that day is holiday, if there is a planned absence or substitution... everything). But you need to report previously that data to the system. (if you use it, take a look to the HR_PERSON_INIT_WORK_SCHEDULE too). - The working factory calendar of the activity it is used to plan the capacity ==> maybe you would need to make a calendar for each employee (too much work I think). Note that in MS project when you "gray" days is for all the activities, to make that in PS you should make a factory calendar with those days as no working days. I have talking to "gray" those days for each activity. Sorry if this is not very clear (it has taken me an hour with several interrupts).

I very much agree with Guillermo, and I would suggest to go for his ideea. In my opinion using personal capacity planing in PS-HR is very inflexible and deficitary. However, the link PS-HR you are asking for, 1. In work center (Transsaction: change work center) you will have to assign the persons from HR, you will have to be carefull as in the transaction there are 2 methods/buttons to assign persons to a work center. now I cannot tell you by heart which one is effectively linking the HR with PS, as only one works, you will have to try both of them (swich to capacity view and you'll see one button sth. "Link to HR" and then the other option is in the menu bar) 2. In HR - you will have to work with your HR colleagues maybe, should be maintained some HR Infotypes: Transaction PA61, Infotype 0007 - planned working time (e.g. 8 hr. a day) Infotype 0005 - vacation Infotype 2001, type pf Infotype 0100 - absences For the infotype 0007 - you will have alreadythe Arbeitszeitplanregel "rule to plan the working

time", if I translate correct from german, which will set the calender for you. This is made with another HR transaction for the HR calender ....this calender(e.g. factory calender) has to be then generated/activated for every month (separate transaction). I do not all the transactions codes now, but is pretty much intuitiv, as the system will give you the steps while maintaining the Infotypes. 3. Then you plan the persons in the Activities for a determined period of time. In CMP9 you'll see the availability with the standard working hours (8Hr/day, as set in HR in calender) and the absences (as planed in HR in infotypes) with empty cells (Nota Bene: these cells have in transactions CMP2 and CMP3 a change modus, are not grey or inactive !!!!!) You can change the planing then with the transactions CMP2 or CMP3, one is from project, the other from workcenter point of view . If you make changes in CMP2 or 3 you will not see the changes in Project builder for example. With CMP9 you can only view the personals planing for a workcenter, a project... I there is another transaction to see the personal availability somewhere in the Infosystem> PS>capacity. You'll have to look for it and generate it from Mandant 000. Unfortunately, there are some more constraints, which you will discover while testing.

Project Status set to TECO When I set a project on status TECO. We can still do confirmations on the project. Is there a setting or a way in which we can set the project to TECO and not be able to do confirmations on that particular project? There is no link between TECO and actual confirmation. It might possible that the project is technically completed but non technical activities are still pending.. All WBS elements, networks and activities are set on status TECO in the project. I have set the status over a week ago and yet am still allowed to do confirmations to the activities in the project.

We did not experience this problem before. It is the first time and it happens for all projects that are set to status TECO. If you have networks and activities involved your best bet is to use project builder to make a status change at the project definition level which will cascade down to wbs elements, network header and network operations. You may try setting a DLFG flag and see if it prevents confirmations from occurring on the activities. If you need to undo the deletion flag the sequence is as follows: Using CJ02 undo DLFG at project definition level then select all wbs elements and perform the same. using CN22 undo DLFG at network header level then select all activities and perform the same. Project builder allows status set downwards but not undo on all components, therefore requiring CJ02 and CN22 to undo.

List of RA caculated values In the part of "Result Analysis data" in the result screen after RA operation, there is a field named L(r). List of RA caculated values: R(p) = Planned revenue for valuation C(p) = Planned costs for valuation M(p) = Planned costs for complaints and commissions for valuation S(p) = Planned special costs (cost of sales = actual costs) for valuation L(real) = Realized loss N(p) = Planned values not taken into

R(a) = Actual revenue C(a) = Actual costs M(a) = Actual cost of complaints and commissions S(a) = Actual special costs (cost of sales = actual costs) N(a) = Actual values not taken into D(a) = Down payt C(c) = Calculated costs R(c) = Calculated revenue C(av) = Valuated actual costs M(av) = Valuated cost of complaints/commissions POC = Percentage of completion C(r) = Reserves for unrealized costs R(r) = Revenue surplus C(z) = Work in process (capitalized costs) R(z) = Revenue in excess of billings M(r) = Reserves for cost of complaints and commissions

COS = Cost of sales R(n) = Revenue aff. net income

Project System Status -Deletion Flag Active One problem with the network triggered by a SO with CN08 linkage. The network appears in display mode with system status -deletion flag active. How to change the system status and delete the network? Here is the deletion flag behavior I have observed. We are using assembly order processing and also use CN08. Using CN22 or CJ20N to create DLFG you set the status on the network header Edit>status>deletion flag this rolls the status down to the activity level. To reverse the deltion flag you must first: cancel the deletion flag on the network header, then select all activities in the activity overview and cancel deletion flag. Now some people believe that when the deletion flag is set that it removes all of the activities from the network. This is false, s who do not see the activities after the deletion flag is set must use the following menu path to "reveal" the activties: Edit> Object> Display Deleted>On Which table is the system storing the Project Def, WBS, NW and NWA system and status? Check these tables:

PROJ : Master data for project definition PRPS: Master data for WBS PRHI: Master data for project Jerarquie TJ02 - a list of all System Status'. You can use transaction BS23 to see these, or SE16n via normal enquiry JEST - current System/ Status by object number (WBS and Network) JCDS - history of System/ Status by object number (WBS and Network) Needless to say, you have to get the object number first by looking at PROJ, PRPS for Projects and AUFK, AFKO, AFVC, AFVU or AFVV for Networks. Use SE16n to see the contents. PS: Status "code" contained in JEST for particular object number, after selecting object number of choice from JEST to obtain status text simply JEST to TJ02T linking JEST-STAT to TJ02T-ISTAT and finally pick language TJ02T-SPRAS .

Stop Commitments Before Release Of Projects We are creating projects via Appropriation requests. The theory is that no commitments should be created before the project is released. However, we have proven that s can change the Res./Purc. indicator to 'immediate' before the project has been released. If the approver does not pick up that the project is not released yet, they can even create a Purchase order. You can not remove authorisation for the "immediate" indicator, because the indicator changes when you release the project from "from release" to "immediate".

How can we stop ANY committments from being created until the project has been released?

In OPSC make sure the Release immediately has been unmarked. In transac OPUA (field selection network header) go to influencing choose network profile or controlling area depending on which you want to customize. Set the field "Reservation/Purc.req" CAUFVD-AUDISP make it to only displauy. Go to transac OPUC (field selection network details) go to influencing, choose network profile or contolling area to which you want to customize the setting. Set it to change and in the field "Reservation/Purc.req" - AFVGD-AUDISP make it to only display. This would prevent the s from changing it to display when they create and assign activities to networks/projects. One more customization, in transac OPUU in the network tab make sure the setting is for 2 (from release) or A very effective way to handle this is using status management .go to tcode bs02 and define a status profile which can be defaulted in the project profile, in the status profile define proj definition,WBS,network header and network activity as the infulenced object types. Create a status "blck" as an initital status and in the business transaction field block PR and PRQ creation. Next create a status"allw" which will be set after project is released and allow PR and PRQ creation after status is set

What is WBS element? 1) What is WBS element? 2) What is the Tcode to get to that screen? 3) What is the need and pupose of WBS element?

4) Do we happen to work on Functional module during our implementaion project? 5) In what scenario/situation we will be working on WBS? WBS is nothing but Work Breakdown Structure. It is mainly used in Project System (PS) module. Tcode : CJ20N For any project defined we must have atleast one WBS. Within this WBS we can have networks. Networks are nothing but the series of activities. Material are used to perform the activities. To explain in detail just consider one example: Govt of india wants to have Roads to be build through out the india. So Project can be defined in sap as "Connectivity". WBS can be roads within different states like Roads for Gujarat, Karnataka etc.. i.e. WBS Gujarat, WBS Karnataka etc. We can define different networks for these WBS like Road Between Ahmedabad to Surat or Between Bangalore to Belgham. For this network we can have many activities like Land selection, Land Preparation, Road Building, Final finishing etc etc.

Hemal's example was a good example. Project Systems comes into play only when the industry's business is based on projects like... Construction companies, Engineer to Order scenarios. You may not see anyone using PS module for retail business. As Hemal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into WBS elements. You can use the TC CJ20N to create the project and the WBS elements. Each WBS may have mutiple Networks associated and each Network may have multiple Network Activities as explained in the example by Hemal. On the Sales Order, if your client is implementing PS module, you may have to attach the Sales Order to the WBS element it belongs to. WBS element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. In the example, WBS

Gujurat will tell you how many Sales Orders were created for the Gujurat sector, howmuch was spent on raw materials, what's the currect stock ([roject stock) available. How many Production Orders have been confirmed and howmany of them are getting confrmed in the future. How many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. How many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished. So as you can see, PS is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like FI/CO, SD, MM, PP in this example. You can have cost centers and work centers defined. You can also have profit centers assigned at the plant level and get reports on varius selection criteria. In a complete cycle of PS, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm/release the WBS/activities as per requirement, you execute the project and you close it. One cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. Everything is able here and every dime is counted and at the end you know howmuch did you spend or make on each sector (WBS). Dont get confused with the term sector here... I am using it just for the explaination purposes. :) In one typical example, the company I was working with until not too long ago, had Deliveries from the Project (TC: CNS0). We never used VL01N. We used CNS0 to create a delivery and then used VL02N for confirming the picking quantity for the already created delivery document. I hope this should help you at least a bit. I'm not a PS consultant so I may not know a whole lot but trying going to CJ20N and you will see a lot yourself. PS concultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.

Aggregate POC Calculation

When we confirm activities and see it in cns41 report we can see that the POC is aggregated at the Network,WBS and porject level. How does the system calculate this.. i.e on what factors and criteria? Result analysis determines the costs & revenues belong to the period, along with the Work in progress (WIP) or Reserves. Result analysis calculation is based on the planned / actual Cost & Revenue. POC (Percentage of Completion) determines by the valuation method you opt … The formula for POC : POC = R (a) / R (P) Revenue Proportionate POC = C (a) / C (p) Cost Proportionate Result Analysis Determines: - Calculated Costs C(c) = POC X C (p) Same for Revenue - WIP (If C(a) >C (c) ) WIP = C(z)= C(a) - C(p) - Reserves for unrealized costs (if C(a) < C(c) ) C( r ) = C (c ) – C(a) - Revenue Surplus (if R (a) > R(c) ) R (r) = R(a) –R(c) E.g. Revenue Proportionate RA: In some project you have R(p) =3000$ C (p) = 2000$ R (a) = 1200$ C (a) = 1000$ Then POC = 1200 /3000 = 40 %

C(c) = POC X C(p) = 40 % X 2000 = 800$ WIP = C(z) = C(a) –C(c) = 1000-800 =200$

Dynamic Selection on Report Not Working I have several reports on which the dynamic selection is not working. For instance, the report CN43N. The report is outputting all data in a year i.e it is disregarding the condition I specified in the dynamic selection fields. Is there some configuration to make to this report so that the dynamic selection works? Include field are only possible for fields are realte to PS table: 1. Execute Transaction SE36. 2. Logical Database Builder: PSJ 3. Choose "Extras -> Selection views". 4. Copy selection view "SAP" to "CUS". 5. Change view "CUS". 6. Go to "Tables", select the correct table, for example table ACT01 for object type "Activity". Here, you must ensure that this table is also listed under "Extras -> Dynamic selections" - only these tables can be used. 7. Double-click on the table name. 8. In the "Fields of the table", select the fields desired and allocate them to one of the "Functional groups". 9. Save.

The Project System has no organizational structures of its own; you incorporate it into the existing structure by making assignments to the organizational units in ing and Logistics. It is this which enables the Project System to present data clearly and in many different ways.

Q ; My company is contemplating the implementation of SAP Project Systems (PS)this year. But having already implemented CO (internal orders) and IM, which covers some aspects of the life cycle of capital projects, to what extent will there exists duplicity in the SAP system, and what aspects of the installed modules will be subject to change/modifications to accommodate PS? Also, what kind of implementation time can we expect?

Answer : SAP PS is designed to work well with both CO and IM. The PS module will allow better management of your projects. Allow adequate time in your project to review your requirements and understand the impact this new module will have on your existing setup. Also include time for testing and training so that you can ensure the new

features work properly and your clients understand how to achieve the benefits.

What parameter is used to extend the maximum number of GUI sessions in a 4.6C environment?

RESPONSE

The parameter is "rdisp/max_alt_modes" and its default value is 6 sessions. The minimum is 2 and the maximum is 16. Use transaction RZ11 to get additional information about the parameters and use RZ10 to implement the parameters. also, you might want to look into these other parameters:

Validation in PS - WBS I want to validate the customer number in one of the fields in WBS. The formula builder in the validation screen, it seems, does not table fields other than fields from PRPS. Can this be done thru some exits ?? If yes how ?? Can you guide me in this ??

Answer :

To use a exit in validations, you have to perform following steps;

- copy SAP standard program GGBS002 to ZGGBS002 - create a exit in this program (such as U902, U903 etc) - the exit you defined in the above mentioned program will be visible in validations on screen tab 'Exits' - configure your validation with ' exit' as option

How To Create a Multilevel BOM How To Create a Multilevel BOM and How Does It Work

{mosbanner:id=23}

Multi level bom is a Bom which it has different components at different level..for example: - A ( finished material) - B ( semi finished) - C ( Raw material)

When you run the MRP, Bom will explode upto last level and it will plan the requirement of each individual material.

What ever may be the kind of BOM to be created transaction codes are as below:

- CS01 : BOM create - CS02: BOM Change - CS03: BOM display

Pre requisites are material master record for the materials.

What you have to keep in mind is:

1. BOM creation is through CS01 only. 2. When you have to create multilevel BOM, you have to carry craetion of BOM level by level. 3. First create BOM for assemblies (means materials which are produced inhouse, means materials with procurement type "E" in the material master MRP 2 view). 4. Finally create BOM for the finished product using these assemblies as components.

5. When you see the BOM of finished part after creation through CS03, you can find these assemblies with a tick mark in the field "Assembly". When you double click you can see the susequent BOM of these assemblies. 6. Example would be for a vehicle suppose engine, front wheel, back wheel are the "E"parts. Create BOM first for these engine, front wheel and backwheel with respective material components. Then create BOM for vehicle with these three "E". When you see the BOM of vehicle after creation, you can see a tick mark against these E parts which shows that they have BOM furtehr down and you can double click and see the components of these

Validation in PS am trying to use validation in the Project. Can any one tell when are the call up points 110 and 120 trigerred ?

I want to validate one of the defined fields in WBS.

Everything is working fine when I simulate the validation. But when I enter a value in the defined field and save the project then I do not get the error message as expected.

Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong ??

Answer :

Please see if you have checked the check box for Automatic validation in the relevant project profile.

WBS Elements 1. What is WBS element? 2. What is the Tcode to get to that screen? 3. What is the need and pupose of WBS element? 4. Do we happen to work on Functional module during our implementaion project? 5. In what scenario/situation we will be working on WBS? WBS is nothing but Work Breakdown Structure. It is mainly used in Project System (PS) module. Tcode : CJ20N

For any project defined we must have atleast one WBS. Within this WBS we can have networks. Networks are nothing but the series of activities. Material are used to perform the activities.

To explain in detail just consider one example:

Govt of india wants to have Roads to be build through out the india. So Project can be defined in sap as "Connectivity".

WBS can be roads within different states like Roads for Gujarat, Karnataka etc.. i.e. WBS Gujarat, WBS Karnataka etc.

We can define different networks for these WBS like Road Between Ahmedabad to Surat or Between Bangalore to Belgham.

For this network we can have many activities like Land selection, Land Preparation, Road Building, Final finishing etc etc.

Hemal's example was a good example. Project Systems comes into play only when the industry's business is based on projects like... Construction companies, Engineer to Order scenarios. You may not see anyone using PS module for retail business. As Hemal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into WBS elements. You can use the TC CJ20N to create the project and the WBS elements. Each WBS may have mutiple Networks associated and each Network may have multiple Network Activities as explained in the example by Hemal.

On the Sales Order, if your client is implementing PS module, you may have to attach the Sales Order to the WBS element it belongs to. WBS element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. In the example, WBS Gujurat will tell you how many Sales Orders were created for the Gujurat sector, howmuch was spent on raw materials, what's the currect stock ([roject stock) available. How many Production Orders have been confirmed and howmany of them are getting confrmed in the future. How many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. How many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished.

So as you can see, PS is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like FI/CO, SD, MM, PP in this example. You can have cost centers and work centers defined. You can also have profit centers assigned at the

plant level and get reports on varius selection criteria.

In a complete cycle of PS, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm/release the WBS/activities as per requirement, you execute the project and you close it.

One cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. Everything is able here and every dime is counted and at the end you know howmuch did you spend or make on each sector (WBS). Dont get confused with the term sector here... I am using it just for the explaination purposes. :)

In one typical example, the company I was working with until not too long ago, had Deliveries from the Project (TC: CNS0). We never used VL01N. We used CNS0 to create a delivery and then used VL02N for confirming the picking quantity for the already created delivery document.

I hope this should help you at least a bit. I'm not a PS consultant so I may not know a whole lot but trying going to CJ20N and you will see a lot yourself.

PS concultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.

SAP R/3 is based on a three tier client/server technology. Typically, it is made up of three functionally distinct

layers

namely:

the



interface,

business

logic

and

database.

The interface, which is otherwise known as the presentation server displays the interface for s' communication with the SAP system. It is often referred to as the SAP GUI. As a matter of fact, it is a program called sapgui.exe. The application server is where the business logic and data manipulation takes place. Data processing, SAP istration tasks and client request/ management are handled within the business layer. The database layer is synonymous to the database server and it typically acts as a data repository for tables and other database objects and structures Ideally, an R/3 system is composed of one database server, one or more application servers and one or more presentation servers. SAP Business One on the other hand is composed of a database server and one or more presentation servers. the difference between SAP Business One and SAP R/3. The non technical answer to this question is that; SAP Business One is SAP's offering for small and mid size companies, while R/3 is SAP's offering for large companies.

SAP Project System - A ready Reference ( Part 1 )

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9622

Being a beginner in SAP PS is a challenge. As a techie, When I started my ABAP Program in PS Module, I found a lot of scattered information but there is no article or blog with consolidated information even on basic terminologies of SAP PS. This blog is

my attempt to provide an insight of basic techno-functional aspects and terminologies of SAP PS to a novice.

In my first blog you will find the important of the PS module. I have tried to explain them with the help of an example. Following this is the next blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9659 where the technicalities of the same are covered.

The Project System (PS) module of SAP is specifically designed to provide comprehensive and fully integrated project management functionality for SAP customers. A Project is a complex undertaking, bringing with it huge data of different type.

At the beginning of each project, whether it involves developing a new product, make-to-order engineering or internal organization, you need to define and set up the structures necessary to manage your project and incorporate them into your existing organizations and processes. Before you can run a project in its entirety, you must first describe the project goals precisely and create a structure for the project activities to be carried out. A clear project structure provides a basis for successful project planning, monitoring and control.

Organizational Structures in Project System:

"

You create and manage your project structure in SAP R/3 Project System, by means of work breakdown structures and networks.The WBS describes individual phases and functions of a project. Network contains the individual project tasks and the dependencies

Project Definition

Project Definition is general description of the project that you want to manage. It is a framework laid down for all the objects created within a project. It contains organizational data that is binding for the entire project.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

WBS is a

hierarchical model of the tasks to be performed in the project. It provides overview of the project and forms basis

for the project organization and coordination.It shows work, time and money spent on the project. You can use it to plan dates & costs and allocate budget. The Work Breakdown Structure can be displayed according to:



Phase



Function



Object

Individual tasks required to carry out the project is called WBS elements.

Network

The network describes project processing. Thus the Network contains instructions on how to carry out activities in a specific way, in a specific order and in a specific time period.Main elements of network are activities and relationships. It

forms the basis for planning, analyzing and monitoring time schedules, costs, & resources.

Activities

Activities are used to plan project staffing, capacity, material, PRTs, and service requirements. When activities are assigned to WBS elements, detailed view of costs, dates, and capacities at WBS element could be obtained. It's a task in a network which has a defined start and finish. An activity can be broken down into activity elements.Three categories of activities in the Project System:·



Internal Activities



External Activities



General Cost Activities

Activity element

Activity element is an activity which is subordinate to another activity. Activity elements contain the same information as activities.Three categories of activity elements in the Project System:



Work

elements



External

Elements



General

Cost

Elements

Activity Type

It's a physical measure of activity output of a cost center .e.g. hours, number of units produced, machine times, production times.

Milestones

Milestones are the events in the project to which particular importance is attached Or which trigger predefined functions. In general they indicate transition between different departments or phases. Milestones are assigned to activities and WBS elements:In PS milestones are used to:



Trigger



Carry

Relationships

You use relationships to depict chronological and technical dependencies between activities. The relationship determines the nature of the link between the individual activities. :

Settlement

As a rule, projects are used to collect and monitor costs, but are not usually the final cost object. For this reason the costs in atypical project will be settled at the end of the period.To this end, you store settlement rules in the activity / WBS element requiring settlement. They contain information on settlement receivers, cost apportionment and control data. Settlement receivers could be cost centers, G/L s. Etc.

Budget

The budget is the approved cost structure for an action or project in a particular period.Budgeting differs from cost plan in that it is binding. In the approval phase you prescribe your project funds in the form of budget. It is possible to allocate overall and annual budget in parallel.

Work Centers

Work center represents the resources responsible for executing an activity. In a work center, you can enter the available capacity and an operating time. You can arrange the work centers in a hierarchy for capacity evaluation purposes. Internal activities are assigned to work centers (resources) to be completed.A work center is a physical unit within a company where an activity is performed.

Profit Center

It is subdivision of business organization which is set up for internal management control purposes. Profit centers divide business up on a management basis. The basic aim of profit center ing is to present areas of the business as entities operating independently in the market.

Lots of jargons ….let me site an instance of the construction project of a building..

Let say there is a construction company that is going to construct a Multi-Storey building.

The first thing that needs to be created in the system is project will come under this project definition.

Project Definition. The entire activity plan for this

Overall budget

needs to be estimated, assigned and get approved for the project. Project timeline needs to be decided. Project could be then subdivided into separate

parts which are actually WBS elements lets say in this e.g. we have 4 main WBS elements:

1. Land Acquisition 2. Procurement 3. Construction 4. General

To every above WBS, budget and time line need to estimated.

Now to take an example we will drill down two WBS elements namely Land Acquisition and Construction.

- Land Acquisition could be sub divided into activities as in



Generation



Soil



Approval



Preparation

of

request

document

for

the

land. testing

for of

purchase

construction order

of

the

land

Above 4 activities should be done in sequence. As in second activity will start only after request document for the land is completed and so on. Hence these activities have FS Relationship between them.

- Now take WBS element Construction.

It could be sub divided in to floor wise tasks. Let say, we have four story building and each floor has 4 flats. So under WBS element 'Construction'we

may create separate sub WBS element for each floor.

Each sub WBS element of floor may be divided further into on the floor. This way we will havehierarchy

last level of WBS elements one for each flat

of the WBS elements.Finally last level of WBS elements

i.e. WBS elements of the flats will have activities like

1. Plumbing 2. Electrical work 3. Flooring 4. Painting 5. Furniture

These activities form the Network.

Let say Plumbing and Electricity work are the

external activities as they are given to a outside contractor. While the

other activities are done by company labor so they are

internal activities. Plumbing and Electrical work could be started

simultaneously.While flooring needs be done once the plumbing and Electrical work is complete. Hence they have FS relationship and so on…. Now if we talk aboutmilestones:

1. First 2. Second

milestone could

could construct

be the

purchasing base

of

the the

land building.

3. Third

could

be

construct

the

floors

4. Fourth could be completion of plumbing and electrical work for all the flats. And

so

on….

As I have said that Work center represents the resources responsible for executing an activity For the above activities, work centers could be the company labor required for the construction, labor provided by the external service center for plumbing and Electricity work. while Profit Centers could be the finally constructed flats.

SAP Project System - A ready Reference ( Part 2 )

In my previous bloghttps://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9622

I had explained Basic PS terminologies with the help of a simple example.

Now let me go to some technicalities of the same.

If some body asks me to develop report in PS module what basic information do I need?

,

Mainly I need to find out three things :



Master tables and there relationship with each other.



Standard transactions in PS module and



BAPIs used to deal with PS data.

Let's start with the master table

PS Master Tables and their relationship:

Object Project Definition WBS element Network Activity Activity Element Activity Type Milestone Budget

Master Table PROJ PRPS AFKO ,AUFK AFVV , AFVC AFVV , AFVC CEPC MLST BPGE , BPJA

Following diagram depicts the linkage between various master tables in PS module.

Hey, thanks for the blog on Project System. I think you might be interested to know about the Project System ES bundle.

This ES bundle offers enterprise service-based integration with SAP Project System. One simple use would be to have a contractor with a handheld update project status via an enterprise service (telling you, for example, that the wiring on the third floor of the building is 50% complete, for example).

Template ( CO) --Controlling (CO) A dynamic allocation tool that uses functions and formulas to calculate numerical values and the values of Boolean expressions (true or false). This tool is used for various purposes such as sender-receiver allocations and as an aid for formula planning. Instead of preassigned allocation data, the template uses a generic description for any data (such as the sender object, quantities, and costs). Since this data is not known at the time the template allocation is performed, it is determined dynamically when the values are calculated.

SAP Project System (PS) - SD integrations: The PS SD Integration is mainly for the customer projects. System

will

generate

projects/network

during

creation

of

sales

order. Your

sales

order

value

will

go

to

PS

as

planned

revenue.

When you do billing in sales order you will get actual revenue in the When

project. the

milestone

is

achieved

or

confirmation

of

the

network

activity, billing block will be removed in your sales order for billing.

Also the DIP profile is another area to check out in PS-SD. The idea is to use this in Resource Related Billing scenarios. It's a very

interesting feature that has been introduced in 4.6C onwards. This enables you to select at various levels (like Cost element etc) how the billing needs to be done. Use the following path for DIP profile configuration.

SPRO-Project Systems-Revenues and Earnings-Integration with SD Documents-Create Quotations and Project Billing-Maintain Profiles for Quotations & Billing. The order should be project order. (PS1). In the material master strategy group should be 85 (tab MRP 3) also put item category group as 0005 (tab Sales Org.2)

First to create standard wbs and network as per project requirement. Please also attach mile stones for billing plan. attach the material to the network with the tcode cn08.

to create the sales order with the material then project will be created in the back ground, the sales order number and project number will be the same.

The revenue planning will be done automatically, only we need to plan the cost. Any changes in the sales order will effect the project and vise versa.

Additional: 1. During inquiry you can enter your WBS element, and do your project planning cost and after that become your estimate price send to customer thru quotation. 2. If you use variant configuration, you determine activity and

component for your project from sales order variant. 3. You can run availability check based on project planning to check you can deliver on time. If there is down payment request on your project please post the down payment request by tcode F-29. Once the full payment is received please clear the down payment by tcode F-39. To find PS1 document type in transaction VOV8? If you have IDES, pls. copy the settings of PS1 (which is available in IDES) into development as ZPS1.

The details of CO settings for PS - SD integration The CO Setting is: -

Maintain Assignment of SD-Conditions to CO-PA Value Fields

Controlling > Profitability Analysis > Flows of Actual Values > Transfer of Billing Documents > Assign Value Fields (KE4I)

Assign Sales Orders to Project

This section describes which standard settings and values must exist in Customizing for you to be able to assign a sales document (customer quotation or sales order) to a WBS element manually.

The settings you need to line projects and sales documents manually are prescribed by SAP. If you use these standard settings, you do not need to make any additional settings in Customizing.

Strategy Groups

SAP has predefined strategy group 21 (with strategy 21) for the link between sales documents and projects.

Notes:

If you do not maintain the strategy group for the material in the sales and distribution document item, you cannot assign that item to a WBS element.

Alternatively, you can assign the strategy group to a material using MRP group 0021 (also predefined).

Requirements Classes

SAP has predefined requirements class 80 with assignment category D (assignment to WBS element) for the link between projects and sales and distribution documents. Requirements class 80 is assigned to strategy 21 using requirements type KP (also predefined).

Recommendation

do not change the standard settings supplied by SAP.

You need to set the SD/PS Assignment indicator on the control tab page of the standard project definition, for PS-SD integration, assembly processing.

During inquiry you can enter your WBS element, and do your project planning cost and after that become your estimate price send to customer thru quotation.

To ensure a one-to-one match between the project and its related sales document, the number of the standard WBS element should always be longer than ten characters.

Some more steps related to IDES data...

1).Requirement class 80 and requirement type KP.(Tcode OVZH)

2). Maintain the above in strategy 85 in planning strategy in SPRO.

3). Maintain requirement type and class for item category in VV07.

3) Create standard templates thru CJ91 and CN01.

4).Create materials thru MM01 and select material type as KMAT and strategy group 85 as defined above and maintain item category as u have maintained in spro.

5).Assign materials to network and WbS thru CN08.

With currency with PS and SD?

We have ATO process and have some issue with USD and CAD currency with

PS

andSD

we are using a group currency in the controlling area (type 30 set as USD). In addition we have object currency turned on for the Controlling Area so we have company currency in parallel for each company assigned to the controlling area. Within CO everything is working fine, the issue appears to be when the CO-PS planned amount is ed to the sales order EK01 condition. In this case, CO-PS has both object currency and controlling area currency but it uses the controlling area currency as the amount ed to the sales order. POSTED BY NAVEEN AT 2:01 PM 2 COMMENTS:
